I didn't see Benny McGlynn anywhere - he deserved to be in the parade and to me, that was the only downer to what was a great event.

Sounds like it was a great event, would of loved to have been there....disappointed it wasn't televised like it was back in 05.

Swans respectfully stand without caps (except for one!) for the National Anthem.

Unfortunately even though Benny was essential to the team making the GF, only the 22 who played got to go on the vehicles.

I was at the Overseas Passanger Terminal end and managed to get a few autographs and thank them personally for their great work last Saturday before the mega Crowd adulation commenced.

Does anyone want to talk about the City of Sydney Council member speech who droned on and on and on. And he couldn't even pronounce Horse's surname right leading to groans from our section in front of Woolies. You plonker!

Apparently Barry O'Farrell according to Colless is a fully paid member of the Swans. I think he has been a member for a while before he became Premier?

Thanks Big Al, I didn't get that good a view and my son is one of the kids in the vanguard there in your photo!

Great pictures all, it was an amazing day. Fantastic to hear the song and the Sydney chant ringing out along George St

[ugg]

Syd-ney chant goes up!

Here is my set of photos. Had pretty good position at Town Hall and was able to bring my DSLR with a 70-300mm

I got a laugh and a wave of acknowledgement from Rhys Shaw and Hanners after I yelled out

" Left my scooter outside the dairy - NEK MINUTE"

Like most of the middle aged and older generation I did not understand Rhys' quote when presented with his medal

I asked my 20 something son who told me - what a classic, check it out on you tube and its even on Wikipedia

[ugg]

Haha so it was you Roscoe.

Here is my vid of Cheer Cheer at Town Hall before the players leave ending the parade.

For those who made it to Lakeside last morning, you'd know about Mummy and his green shoes. I yelled out to him today asking where they were and while I couldn't hear his response, it seemed to be something along the lines of "they wouldn't let me, I had to wear these" as he lifted his leg up to show off his black shoes...

Great photos everyone! I managed to get on the barrier, after the second fire truck came through outside Woollies (an extra bit of excitement for the day!!). Took a photo of each of the players cars, but this is my favourite - love the 'Yay for McVeigh' banner in the background.
